Implementation Playbooks and Runbooks:
- Documentation outlining integration steps, configuration parameters, release processes, and operational support procedures for each cloud product.
Product Onboarding Frameworks:
- Standardized onboarding materials and reusable templates that enable developer and product teams to securely adopt and consume cloud services.
Architecture and Design Artifacts:
- Solution diagrams, configuration blueprints, and decision records developed in collaboration with solution and platform architects.
Governance and Compliance Alignment Reports:
- Documentation confirming adherence to OPS governance, data sovereignty, and identity management requirements.
Automation and Optimization Plans:
- Recommendations or implemented workflows that enhance reliability, reduce manual effort, and improve cost efficiency.
